The Government needs to investigate why force is used on minorities disproportionately. BAME people are twice as likely to die from restraint. Although the Lammy Review has highlighted these disparities, inequality is still an issue and one method of preventing harm, which the Government should consider, could be to prohibit the use of neck restraint as it is ineffective & dangerous.
